Chapter 16: Horizontal Rolly-Coaster

The next portion of road was mainly gravel and/or dirt. Still breath-takingly beautiful however. There were some amazing steep hills to go down- we pretended we were on a ride and threw our arms up and yelled woohoo and while we were going up a hill again Bruce would say "click-click- click- click" and giggle. There were some amazing potholes and dips.

Now Bruce had incredible timing. In-credible. Probably the result of over 200 trips on this road.

At one point he said, "You four in the back row must be pretty tired of it by now? NOt a lot of space. I bed you'd like to get out of those seats." When the people said, "Yeah", the van hit a dip and all four of them popped into the air like bouncy balls. He laughed and said, "See, got you out of it for a moment!"

Another time we got onto beautifully paved road and Bruce said, "Are you glad to be on paved road again? Anyone want to go back and do it again?" And a bunch of us smart alecks said yes so he said, "Sounds like a majority!" And sped up, 2 seconds later we hit gravel road again and laughed.

Our final stop before the leg back to our hotels was a winery which had delicious merchandise of which Sarah partook, bathrooms, and a pretty and soft grey cat.
